i got together with author and pretzel guru Andrea Slonecker and food stylist extraordinaire Caroline Ford to shoot some pretzels in the studio. it was a really fun day and we made some beautiful images of Andrea's pretzels. here's a sampling.

of all the times i have shot at clyde common, i had never met or shot their wonderful pastry chef Danielle.

Fine Cooking Magazine is doing a story on her soon, so she needed some new portraits. when i got there, she was in full production mode, and we decided it would be fun to do a portrait before she got cleaned up. I'm pretty stoked on this one.

Not too long ago i cooked up this bacon, swiss, kale quiche to shoot and eat. just more play time in the studio. here's what i can up with. i realized lately that i need to work on my vertical food images. i'm just a bigger fan of horizontals, i admit it. but you don't get full page spreads in print with horizontals. So this was conscious practice, not to mention the light was pretty great in the studio that day. (Ready when you are, Bon Appetit!)

i was recently hired by Wafu to document the restaurant: the comings and going, the cooking, eating, drinking, noodle making and everything in between. suffice to say, after just two days of shoot i had over 100 finished images that i was proud of.

here are just a few. check out Wafu for menu, hours etc. then go get a big fat bowl of ramen...
